Louise Turner

Wonderful doodle session that was fun and interactive for the children; my 8 year old loved it!  A wonderful, friendly, community environment. Can’t wait for the next session. 

Inigo Ryan

A lovely engaging session. One of my children loves drawing so I knew it would be a hit with him but even the one that doesn't had a great time and was proud of what he created.

Frances Ryan

A lovely engaging session. Both my children (6 & 8) had a great time. One loves drawing so I was sure he would love it but the other one also had fun and he was proud of what he created. 

Hollie Halls 

A great way to kickstart the weekend with a doodle session with Neil, the kids (5,7) loved every minute. Big thanks. 

Louise Holley

Great doodle session with Neil.  My girls had great fun and I even joined in. Afterwards the session, we booked a table for some crafts and delicious cakes. A lovely morning to start the Easter holidays. 

Michelle Smith

We had a fantastic time at the doodle with Neil session, just the right mix of humour and art. Little one came away with some great drawings and a full belly of yummy cookies and hot chocolate!

Lacey Hallums

A great start to a Saturday morning. Neil is very entertaining to the little ones.

Sound Meditation Session with Anna Finlay

Caroline Hill

We absolutely loved our sound meditation class last night. It was so relaxing, peaceful and enabled us to get a hour away from our normal life to take a few moments to ourselves. Rounded off with a little brownie, Bliss! 

Jazmine Rossiter

Anna’s sound meditation sessions are just incredible. She has such a calming and welcoming energy and the space is always set up beautifully. As someone who has followed online meditations before, Anna’s sessions are completely different and her command of sound leaves you feeling refreshed and totally zen! 

Katy Shergold 

Great sound meditation session. In a very chilled out space. This was my first sound meditation session and I really enjoyed the evening, will definitely book in again. Thanks Crafty Cup for organising this event! 

Katrina Fenston

Loved the gong part best of all, it was the most relaxing

Jenny  Furtado

An amazing sound meditation as always from Anna. She’s always so welcoming and has fantastic knowledge. I love the way she combines natural sounds and her voice. Highly recommend this to everyone.
